Understanding conflicts in urban future-making: Arenas, negotiation, and affect

In: Conflicts in urban future-making: Governance, institutions, and transformative change, Editors: Monika Grubbauer, Alessandra Manganelli, Louis Volont

Grubbauer, Volont, and Manganelli explore the notion of conflict in urban future-making. They argue that built environment professionals act as agents of conflict, mediating between expert knowledge, conflicting publics, values, and worldviews. The authors identify three modes of negotiating conflict and conclude that urban future-making is an affective practice, eliciting emotional responses from citizens and professionals alike.
